Ivan Medovikov

Ivan Medovikov is Associate Professor of Economics at Brock University, holding PhD and MA degrees in Econometrics from the University of Western Ontario. His research specializes in financial econometrics, copula theory applications in finance, nonparametric methods, and empirical analysis of market behaviors. He currently serves on departmental committees including Graduate Studies and Research Seminars.

Research examines vector dependence measures, financial contagion mechanisms, and market reactions to economic news using advanced copula-based methodologies. Recent work explores volatility forecasting accuracy and risk prediction in equity markets.

Publications demonstrate consistent methodological innovation in dependence measurement (67% of recent works) with empirical applications in financial markets. Thematic evolution shows progression from foundational econometric tests to applied market analysis.
